BA1 CABOUMA — Brisbane WASTED VALUES. CHURCHES SHOULD BE BIG. LIONS AND SHEEP. SWEARING OFF. The greatest of all waste goes on inside trie human brain, of which 999 one-thousandths remain idle and un used, even in well-managed brains. > Millions of brains do not work at all, only remember and repeat, never cre ate. But that will change. Consider what ants and other insects accom plish, having been here many million years ahead of us. Wc are only 12,- 000 years from the late Stone Age, which is the most encouraging fact in history. Give men ten to fifty mil lion more years, with deepening convolutions and inherited knowledge, and see what they will do. A mud wasp, as Fabre shows, is born knowing how to perform a most delicate surgical operation, difficult for a skilled man. New bom human babies, 50,000,000 years hfnee, will know more of mathematics than Newton knew when he died, more of music than Beethoven and Bach com bined. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who un derstands human nature, encourages the building of Dr. Reisner’s sky scraper church in New York, says “churches must be big enough to dominate skyscrapers. Material as well as spiritual dominance is need ed.” That sound idea inspired builders of the old cathedrals. When the Pope ordered Michel Angelo to build St. Peter’s in Rome, dominance was the idea as it was in the building of the cathedrals of Cologne, Milan, Notre Dame and others. To control men you must control their IMAGINATION Mussolini has old-fashioned ideas and good ones. The new twenty-lira piece, worth $1. bears an inscription worth many dollars: "Meglio vivtr* un giomo da leone, eke cento anni da pecora" meaning, “It is better to live one day like a lion than one hundred years like a sheep.” It's hard to make a sheep believe it Like a man half-heartedly swearing off in the morning, the world is try ing to give up war. And this coun try, which never started a war against Europe, is expected to do most of the reforming It’s like asking Moody and Sankey to sign the pledge first, or entreating the Rev Dr. Stra- ton not to believe in Darwin. The individual must solve his own problems, with the use of will power "The heart knoweth his own bitter ness.’’ Each of us knows what is wrong with him, and what he ought to do. Few of us do it. Nations know what they ought to do. None of them does it. Europe ought to stop fighting, and can’t. We ought to mind our own business, and can’t. For American prosperity the out look is good Prosperity demands ac tion and the spending of money, lots of money. This present prosperity is based on the pouring out of a hun dred billions in the war. Cotton Must Be Hastily Matured To Beat Weevil "Grow cotton quickly’’ has become a byword with the more successful Southern farmers since the advent of the boll weevil. They have learned that If they are to harvest enough cotton to show a profit by the end of the year they must ru^h their crop to maturity before the weevil can de atroy It. This year’s reports of weevil hiber nation forecast heavy damage from the pest unless measures are taken to thwart him. Chief among these is the use of readily available nitrogen. The fertilizer used under the cotton may be insufficient to produce well formed bolls before the weevil can get In its work. The growing practice is to hold back the larger part of the quickly available nitrogen of the fertilizer un til the ootton crop has reached the chopping stage. Nitrate of soda is then applied as a side-dressing. ‘ Mr. B. L, Moss of Soso, Miss., one of the most successful and widely known cotton growers of the South, ttys, "The use of nitrate of sqda has brought good crops In place of fail- area, contempt for the boll weevil in place of fear and dread, and prosperity to oil mills, merchants and bankers la place of panic and bankruptcy." «? Recommendations vary as to the amount of nitrate of soda to apply as a aide-dressing, but a study of results obtained throughout the South show that an application of 200 to 300 pounds per acre of nitrate of soda will times its cost in increased ADVERTISE IN ’eople- Sentinel. Death Only Can Open Gates of Greatness The trouble with great men is they always are dead. You hgve to be dead before the world will admit that you were great And the greater you are the longer it takes the world to take your meihure. Great men are like great mountains. You have to get a long way from them to realize what big fellows they are, writes A. G. G., in Passing Show, London. Whence are near them we see all the little kinks In them. Hi, a great man? we say Why, lie doesn’t pay his butcher bill, or he drops his altches about the floor, or he was rude to his wife—and so on and so on. It took this country a couple of hundred years to discover that even Shakespeare was something quite out of the common. 1 daresay that when he died the people at Stratford thought no more of his departure than if he had been the village parson. I have no doubt that Abralkatn Un* coin was a very great man—one of the greatest—and also one of the bes" men that ever lived. But even his colleagues in the government hadn’t a suspicion of the fact until he was dead. They thought he was a queer country bumpkin whom a prodigious Jest of circumstances had flung into the White House. Wildcat Never Loses Its Savage Instinct There may be a more unpleasant disposition than that owned by the wildcat or bobcat, but If so, it would be difficult to locate. Nature has been kind in keeping the wildcat small. It is untamable. Intractably savage, and, after years of captivity, will snarl and spit at every one who comes near, even the keeper who feeds it It is a night-hunting animal and lives on small animals such ns rabbits or squirrels and on birds and even fish pawed out of shallow streams. It is lightning swift In its movements, sharply clawed, and its teeth, while small, are needle-pointed. It Is a great climber and Jumper and often catches birds by leaping three or four feet Into the air as Its victim rises from a bush or the ground. Even the kittens of a wildcat are ill-tempered and sivirl and scratch at the hand that attempts to stroke them. The wildcat ranges in many parts of the United States, in Europe, and has close cousins in all parts of the world. It will attack anything that seeks to corner It and Is more than a match for a stout dog.—Detroit News. She Knew The mistress of the house was giv ing the new maid, who was fresh from the country, a list of household re quirements. "There you are, Alice,” she said, and then suddenly remembered un Item she hud almost forgotten. "Oh—er— don’t forget we shall want a new griller for the kitchen, too.” Alice stared vacantly. "Don’t you know what a griller Is?" asked the other sharply. "1 should think I do," replied the maid, significantly. “It's a big, hairy monkey the size <r1 a man. And If von want one of tbose in your kitchen. I*m leaving at once.** Sausage Plants A little fellow trom England spend ing his vacation in Nantucket witli his aunt was taken for his first ride around the island. His aunt called his attention to the Scotch broom and sweet pepper hushes that were grow ing along the sides of the road-tak ing for granted the acres of cat-o’nlue- tnils they were passing. "What makes you so quiet. Tom my?” asked the aunt. "Well,” Tommy replied, “1 was thinking. You know in England peo ple have to buy sausages at the meat market, but 1 see in Nantucket they grow in the swaiflps.” Veneration for Salt The veneration of salt spread in a most remarkable manner throughout the whole Eastern world. Thus, even among pagan tribes to this day, we tind salt springs being sainted as gifts from the gods. On the Sahara and Libyan deserts, where the great cara van trncks. Hke the ehief of the Ho* man roads, were opened for the con veyance of salt, the salt springs are used for- effecting supernatural cures, covenants are sealed by a simple gesticulation over their bubbling wa ters, and repentance is, offered and protection implored on ‘ their lonely brink. Texan Gives Candy to Mexican Children San Antonio, Texas.—For several years J. M. Allardyce, a retired candy manufacturer of San Antonio, has de voted himself to making the poor chil dren of Mexico happy. During the most part of each year he travels through the remote parts of that coun- try on mule-back, accompanied by a pick lolmal which carrtu a ton of sugar and candy-making atenslls. Whenever Allardyce. arrives at a primitive village he seta up his can dy-making equipment in some lowly home or public place and makes dulces for the children. He distrib utes the sweets free of charge and while the children are gathered aronnd him b*telU them Bible stories In Spanish.
